The governments of some of the smaller states

imminent. Ecuador, for examnple, has been the
scene of "Alarm, panic and commotion" (Noticias
Populares of São Paulo, October I6). The towns
and upland Andean regions have witnessed
hundreds hundreds of of saucers flying overhead, and an saucers flying overhead, and an
announcement on channel 6 of the Quito TV
service recently stated that a large part of the

passed overhead. An eleven-man team had set off

Reader S. F. Lever of9I Rose Hill
Park West, Sutton, Surrey, writes to
tell of a sighting by hinself and two
BA friehds'on October 17, 1965.
Mr. Lever was visting relatives who
live near Hastings, and was looking
out across houses and fields towards
Bexhill (Sussex) when he saw what he
first took to be a bright star setting
beyond a line of trees about half a beyond a line of trres about halr a 4
mile away. It was about 6.30 p.m., mile away. It was about 6.30 p.m.,
and the sun was setting in a clear sky.
The possibility that the object was a
planet was dismissed when it was seen
to be twinkling, and the three wit-
nesses then assurned that it was an
aircraft navigation light. When, aircraft navigation light. When,
after fifteen minutes, the light was still
in approximately the same position.
and "moving strangely upwards and and "moving strangely upwards and
downwards, and also moving horizon-
tally, and a fair distance too, judging
from the angle and distance of the
trees.. ." the aircraft explanation was trees..." the aircraft explanation was
ruled out. ruled out.
Someone then suggested that it Sorn
could be a light moving up and down
a building being erected near Bexhill,
but our reader borrowed some
binoculars "and observed that the Ho
light came from an elliptical object a
ew hundred fcet up, I should say. I
saw no tower or form of structure
near it, and got the impression that
the object was not only moving slowly,
but was turning as well. At 6.30 p.m.
it shone with the colour of a star or
planet, but at 7 p.m. it was reddish in
texture. At that time I went into the
house for a few mninutes; when I
returned, the object had disappeared.
Not one of us who observed the
phenomenon are given to flights of
fancy, but we all felt we had seen
something we just could not explain."
